If you want to outfit your kitchen the right way, you should have a stand mixer. Some may not consider it a crucial tool, but many home cooks swear by them. Stand mixers do a great job thoroughly mixing a wide variety of ingredients<\/a>, allow you to multitask with greater efficiency in the kitchen, and eliminate a lot of the hard work required by hand mixing recipes, especially thick batters and doughs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stand mixers can look quite complicated to the inexperienced user, but they are quite easy to use once you get them. They are, in fact, an essential part of any kitchen’s roster of tools. You will no longer have to tire yourself mixing dough and other mixtures by having one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article will teach you how to use a stand mixer with simple beginner instructions and answer a few common questions. By the time you are done reading, you should be all set to start using your new stand mixer with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A stand mixer is a medium-sized kitchen appliance used to stir, beat, mix, knead, or whip ingredients. It sits on a countertop or other flat surfaces. It comes with an attachable mixing bowl and several different attachments to help you accomplish a variety of baking and cooking tasks quickly and easily. The most common type of stand mixer is the Kitchenaid mixer, but many other quality options exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stand mixers come in two different styles, a bowl lift model and a tilt-head model<\/strong>. The tilt-head style is the most commonly used stand mixer in home kitchens. It features a head that tilts back to allow access to the attachment and the mixing bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A bowl lift stand mixer raises the bowl to meet the attachment. This type can also be found in homes but is more common in professional settings that need to make larger batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before using a stand mixer, we strongly recommend you read the manual<\/strong>. This will show you how to use a stand mixer, help familiarize you with the different parts and attachments included and help alert you to any special features about your specific machine. Reading the user manual can also help you troubleshoot any possible issues. However, with our help, we don’t anticipate that happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most stand mixers, the Kitchenaid mixer included, come with three basic attachments: a flat beater, also called a paddle, a wire whip, also called a whisk, and a dough hook. Here is a brief explanation of the three to help you better understand how you can best use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The flat beater attachment<\/strong> is often the most used of the three basic attachments. It is great for stirring, mixing, and beating. Everything you would do with a regular hand mixer<\/a> attachment can be done with the flat beater on your stand mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use your paddle attachment<\/strong> for cake batter, cookie dough, mashed potatoes, pie crusts, and biscuit dough to shred meat like chicken, cream butter, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGetting Started: Stand Mixer Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
